the Zen of Communication.

Setting up a new pool (persistent linked clone, in this instance) for VMWare View 4. Had the template built, took a snapshot, then tried to create the pool. Got all the way through setup to select the template and snapshot, but voila. Snapshot wasn’t there.

VMWare View templates require the snapshot to be taken WITHOUT the VM memory state. If the memory state is taken with the snap, the snapshot isn’t available – except it won’t tell you why.

VMWare also highly recommends/suggests that the VM template be powered off. This makes a lot of sense, and you really should, but I had two snaps taken with the system powered on which I built VDI Persistent Linked Pools from, and 10 desktops worked fine.
